Don't you have to sign your name on a signature sheet in Wisconsin?
If they're fraud voters, how did they know what name to look for, what name to sign? Did they have the names memorized?
without voter I.D. laws, it is pretty easy. Let's say you have a neighbor who is a regular voter. In the last couple of years he/she has come down with alzheimers, cancer, serious whatever, and you know for a fact that they will not be going out to vote.
there is nothing in the world to prevent you from voting in their place and signing their name to the list. Noone in the world believes that unless a vote is challenged, anyone compares signatures to the original registration list.
We have "same day" registration in Wisconsin. New residents can register at the polls with ID -- and for this you do need photo ID. IOW a valid driver's license with your current address on it. If your address is NOT current, then you need another proof of ID with your address on it, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or such. I registered a young woman who had a picture DL with wrong address and a barely dry divorce decree with the new (right) address. The divorce decree documented both her old address and her new address.
If you were a voter fraud gang, you could steal utility bills, bank statements, etc. from mail boxes and use them to register. But that would take a lot of organization.
Easier would be to vote in the place of someone who had died recently. For that you only need to sign the book and know the correct name and address. No picture ID required. Even that scam would take a lot of pre-planning because you would have to show up at the appropriate polling place and hope that the poll workers did not know the person whose identity you are trying to assume.
I noticed that this year ABSENTEE is noted under the names of those who had requested absentee ballots. If someone comes in and tries to vote iin person and the notation ABSENTEE is printed next to their name, they are going to be questioned about where their absentee ballot is. Unless they can produce it and rip it up right there, their new bvote will be provisional and will not be counted until after all the absentee votes are counted. It will only be counted if no absentee ballot shows up with their name on the envelope.

That's what I was wondering. Certainly there must be some sort of check unless they have them re-register at every stop.
I live in a county where the little old church ladies run the polling, so we don't have to worry about voter fraud.
Yes, you sign a signature sheet, after you state your name. The clerk reads your address and you say yes or no to verify. YOu can register on the same day but you have to have proof of residency, like with a utilities bill. The name is right in the book. IT looks like an address label, the book is open and you can read your name upside down, along with the address. Personally, when I vote, I state my last name and they look it up, as I am the only person in town with that name.
